Import Tips
• Source from section 609 compliant fisheries; attach harvest certificates and peeling facility hygiene reports
• Declare as 'peeled' with photos/inspection reports; ensure no brine addition to avoid 0306.38 classification
• Avoid pitfall of partial peeling (e.g
• tail-on only if not fully peeled per customs ruling)
